UNCLE, UNCLE

OK - I've said it. I'm done screwing up socks. While I was able to complete my first pair just fine, the second has messed me up big time. When I went to start knitting in the round again - the front and back didn't match up. WTF!



SO - I started knitting a lace shawl. Girasole by Jared Flood. An absolutely GORGEOUS shawl that I hope I can finish. So far, so good. Sheri at the Loopy Ewe was kind enough to offer a 20% discount to anyone purchasing yarn for the KAL. I LOVE THE LOOPY EWE! Not only phenominal promotions, but uber fast servicee.
Anyway, here is the start of my shawl:



I read on one of the Ravelry forums that you should NOT use dark colors when knitting lace shawls. I don't know about you, but I LOVE the look of this dark color. This is Malibrigo Sock yarn in the color "Persia" and I love the subtle varigation and the darkness of the color itself. I'm tired of listening to other people. I'm going to knit what makes my heart SING.

HAPPY KNITTING to all!

You should knit whatever your heart desires! And why not?
